[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 139409, member: 184281"] ah, mmm, so we don't actually know where you're pointed at. yet. different receivers work in different ways, some you have to say: i'm on Astra 1, and then scan it will know what channels are where and store something. some will just blind scan anything. try this: pick a known transponder frequency, symbol rate etc, and enter it manually: here's a list of astra 1 (19.2deg E) http://www.kingofsat.net/en/freqs.php?&pos=19.2E&standard=Digital&ordre=freq&filtre=Clear and type it in, see if you get anything, i guess you'll be pointed here, or hotbird, how does you dish direction compare with that of a neigbours house? or, with your current poiting just do a scan, if you tell your receiver its looking at 28.2E it will only search frequencies that it beleives it will find channels on, but they'll be a cross over somewhere, you should get some channels, then work backwards, based on the frequency and the channel work out which satellite you're looking at.... i hope that makes sense! yes, although in practive i don't beleive its actually 28degrees, more forum members will be able to enlighten you in this field. - by the way to you have a clean line of sight? that might explain why you only get "one" strong signal... cts [/QUOTE]
